Frequently Asked Questions About Heifer International Gift Cards
How Will My Gift Card Be Delivered?
We offer flexible delivery options to suit your needs. You can opt to receive a PDF gift card directly to your email. This printable gift card can then be printed at home and presented personally to your recipient. Alternatively, for ultimate convenience, you can choose to send an ecard directly to your recipient’s email address. Both options ensure your thoughtful gift arrives promptly and efficiently.
Can My Gift Card Purchase Benefit from Matching Funds?
Yes! Your generosity can go even further. When a matching gift opportunity is available, your donation through the purchase of a gift card is eligible to be matched. It’s important to note that matching funds do not increase the face value of the gift card itself. The value remains equivalent to your original charitable contribution. However, the donation you make – and the impactful gift chosen by the gift card recipient – will have a greater reach and impact thanks to any available matching funds at the time of purchase.
What Can the Gift Card Be Used For?
The true beauty of a Heifer International gift card lies in the recipient’s experience. When they redeem the gift card, they are given the rewarding opportunity to select a life-changing animal or sustainable agriculture resource from the Heifer Gift Catalog. The vast majority of Heifer’s impactful gifts are available for redemption through gift cards. Furthermore, the redemption process is designed to be educational, allowing the recipient to learn more about Heifer’s global mission and the profound positive impact these gifts have on families and communities worldwide.
Are Heifer Gift Cards Suitable Gifts for Children?
Absolutely! The online gift card redemption experience is designed to be engaging and accessible for all ages. With our optional interactive story feature, children can learn in an age-appropriate way about how their gift can make a real difference in the world. Selecting an animal or resource from Heifer’s Gift Catalog together can also be a wonderful and educational family bonding activity, fostering empathy and global awareness.

Will I Be Informed When My Gift Card is Redeemed?
